The Charlotte Hornets have acquired Collin Sexton from the Utah Jazz for Jusuf Nurkic and a 2030 second round pick. The Jazz are attempting to balance out their roster after selecting Ace Bailey and Walter Clayton Jr. at the draft.
The Jazz acquired Sexton in a sign-and-trade as part of their trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers involving Donovan Mitchell and Lauri Markkanen.
The Hornets could use Sexton as a replacement for Tre Mann, who is a restricted free agent. Sexton is on a $19 million expiring contract.
Nurkic is also on an expiring contract worth $19 million after he was acquired by the Hornets last season from the Phoenix Suns. The second round pick from the Hornets to the Jazz is the more favorable between the LA Clippers and the Jazz.
